Corneloup will report to Ken Bouton, senior vice president, global sales, in his expanded role.
For the past five years, Corneloup has served as regional manager, France and Southern Europe. During his tenure, Business Wire has emerged as the leading regulatory disclosure service for France´s most prominent public companies, with a plurality of the CAC 40 as clients. Under his leadership, the Paris office has consistently ranked among Business Wire´s fastest-growing offices.
Corneloup will work closely with The News Services Group [NSG], which is based in Dubai and represents Business Wire throughout the Middle East and North Africa. NSG operates ME Newswire, the region´s most comprehensive distribution platform, including guaranteed posting arrangements with dozens of web sites and portals throughout the MENA territory. He also will liaise with MGM International, Business Wire´s representative office in Israel.
"The volume of releases originating from Middle East clients has dramatically increased as the region plays an ever-larger role in the global economy," said Cathy Baron Tamraz, Business Wire´s CEO, in announcing Corneloup´s promotion. "Clearly, this is a region that promises to be a major engine of Business Wire´s future growth, and continuing evolution as a truly global organization."
Corneloup´s impressive credentials include an MBA degree from the prestigious William E. Simon Graduate School of Business Administration (University of Rochester in New York), and extensive experience in the financial services and business sectors: Lazard in London, JP Morgan in New York and London, and Group Rhone Poulenc in Paris.
